A VIAGEM DAS HORAS
Read moreOn the program here: wine, tapas, records and plants. It's pretty tempting! Located in a fashionable area of Lisbon (Arroios) and very popular with the locals, this wine bar, which defines itself as gastronomic, leaves a large place to music. This bar was created by a well-known DJ here: DJ Rykardo. Every week, a playlist is published on Spotify with a specific theme. All products are carefully chosen and often come from the Arroios market next door. The wine can be bought to go.
CASA INDEPENDENTE
Read more"Art and music with tiger's milk for the soul" is what it says about this multi-faceted venue. This former regional house has been taken over and transformed into a bar. There are several areas: a large room for listening to concerts and DJ sets, a smaller, more intimate lounge for sharing a drink and catching up on old times, a patio for taking a breather, and a corner for enjoying some of their delicious tartines. Please note: at the time of writing, the establishment is threatened with closure, but there's no date yet.
BELA, VINHOS E PETISCOS
Read moreHere, regulars come to eat petiscos, which they happily share in the middle of the table. Grilled chorizo, octopus salad, chickpea and cod salad, you name it. Tuesdays are for poetry! Wednesday evenings and Sundays, ao vivo music, to the tunes of fado, Brazilian classics or jazz. The night goes on into the wee hours, and it's time to leave... A must-see in the Alfama district, and a must-visit for your own pleasure.
MIRARI
Read moreMirari was launched in 2023 and has proved a great success. It is located near LX Factory and offers various types of cultural and artistic events. Set in a disused and somewhat ruined factory, the space is open-air and divided into different zones. So it's in a post-industrial atmosphere that you can enjoy all the events organized, including the famous "Saturday afternoon matinees". The bar is complemented by street food stalls, some of which are run by Lisbon-based restaurants.
CRAZY DOLPHIN PUB
